Legends of Aria

Rose Online is a classic anime-themed MMORPG that originally launched in the mid-2000s and was revived by Rednim Games and Gravity Interactive. The game had a niche but passionate community, but due to its age (over 10 years since the 2012 re-release) and lack of major recent updates or mainstream attention, the active daily player base is low, likely around 1,000–2,000. Still, as an old-school MMO, it maintains small, dedicated servers.

Legends of Aria is a sandbox MMORPG released in 2019 by Citadel Studios. Although it initially attracted a niche audience due to its Ultima Online-inspired mechanics, the player base has declined significantly over time, as is typical for indie MMOs without major publisher backing or frequent, large-scale updates. Its persistent online world still qualifies it as an MMO, but the daily player count is now quite low—likely in the hundreds.
